Amusing anecdotes & random ramblings
"you think I'm unemotional … I cried at the end of Terminator 2!"
I have been caught massively enthusing about the genius that is Spaced – the finest sitcom a pop-culture/nerdy obsessed person could ever possibly hope to have. Complete with strong characters all round. It’s so hip it hurts…
Anyway, skip to the end – and some kind soul has put up the first episode of Spaced online on Google Video. So here it is: watch it!
Then buy Spaced: The Collectors Edition from your friendly Amazon UK dealer.

Working for the BBC….

means a few surprises from time to time. Like telling people that it’s not a place where they shower you with money while you hang out backstage with Matt Smith or even Huw Edwards, for instance. Although there are a few fantastic non-financial bonuses, of course – like working on election night. Really must blog
One rule for Chinese comedians, another for Iranian ones?

I have occasionally dreamt of being a stand-up comedian – oh, the fame! the groupies! The nights of travelling up and down the M1 at 2am before parking in a dodgy service station! – and have therefore occasionally pondered on what my opening line would be. Omid Djalili‘s opening gambit was to come on and
The Big Bang – spoilers!

So… spoilers and my broken incoherent thoughts for the superlative and rather emotional The Big Bang – don’t read if you haven’t seen it! Ok, nit-picking out of the way: It’s often said that for two-parter episodes, the first part is much better than the second, simply because the second part has to wrap up
The Pandorica Opens… SPOILERS!!!

Spoilers ahead, if you haven’t seen the frankly epic fantabulous episode that was The Pandorica Opens… OMG. OMG. OMG. Brain still can’t process anything more than incoherent thoughts just yet: – Best opening ever. Characters from previous episodes leading everyone on a merry goosechase. Although how did River Song from the 51st Century end up

So psychic Derek Acorah’s had to cancel a few concerts at short notice. The pun writes itself. Which hasn’t stopped me in the past. When I was flat-hunting in Cardiff, I saw an ad with a flat to rent above a psychic’s shop. So I called the number, and ended up speaking to the psychic’s
Everybody loves a lesbian…

At least according to BBC Three’s new comedy puppet show… Then again, this shouldn’t come as a complete surprise to me. When I was living in Cardiff and hanging out with Miss H (naturally, a lesbian), I’d end up chatting to an intelligent, attractive, funny and uninhibited woman, only to find out from Miss H

Now I'm posh

Until recently, I could safely say that I wasn’t that posh – aside from when my bizarrely-posh telephone voice makes an appearance – according to the Daily Mail, because I only ticked two of their ten boxes, to whit: – shopping at Waitrose (and that’s only because it’s the nearest food supermarket to me) -
All this hot weather is like making love to a beautiful (demanding) woman…

Sure, it looks nice, but once you get into it, it’ll drive you insane with bright lights and a pounding headache afterwards. (inspired by Swiss Toni)
Fighting a losing battle against copyright

So… on the night when David Cameron finally became Prime Minister, HyperHam and I had the following conversation: HH: “Why is Mrs Cameron standing at the back, pregnant and far away from her husband?” AW: “Well, we’re living in Tory times now.” To me, this was so amazingly funny and of-the-moment, that I immediately posted
